[meteorite-list] Shirokovsky..Question

Hello Bill and List,

> I am curious as to whether there is more information available about the 
> Shirokovsky Pallasite Meteorwrong? I have read the info available at the
> Met Bulletin

> http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php?code=31359

> but I am very interested in what "earth" rock/mineral this has been 
> determined to be (if any) and how it came to so closely resemble a 
> pallasite. Looking at a photo it sure looks to be a pallasite to my 
> armateur eye.

Esteemed list member Martin Horejsi wrote a short article on Shirokovsky
in Joel Schiff's quarterly magazine. Maybe it is of interest to you. Here
is the reference:

HOREJSI MARTIN (2003) The Shirokovsky object: Meteorite, terrestrial,
or none of the above? (Meteorite, Aug. 2003, Vol. 9, No. 3, pp. 5-6).


Best wishes,

Bernd
